When I first visited the House of Liza shop, in the depths of Hoxton, I was utterly, completely dumbfounded. Gasping at the sight of every piece. I could have bought everything.

Almost a year later, I returned, and this vintage Issey Miyake shirt was still there. Thankfully. It's now mine. See my House of Liza post here, where I even tried on this shirt.

I knew I wanted this shirt. You know when you know. You know when you can't stop thinking about it.

I used to stalk the Farfetch.com site to see if it was still on there. To be honest, I still check almost weekly to see if anything new has been added. The man who owns House of Liza, Goncalo, is quite a remarkable vintage collector.

He has the eye.

You know, the eye to spot a shirt or skirt or dress that will be worth money. The nose to sniff out a piece which is, essentially, priceless.

I don't know exactly when this Miyake shirt is from, but it's old. At least a couple of decades.
